This book documents the two ideas of cosmos that prevailed from about 500 BCE until about 1840 CE. These two ideas of cosmos were the foundation for theories of creation that continue even today.Both of these ideas of cosmos were based on the perception of the sky as a solid structure, a work of art, divine art. The four revolutionary scientists of the modern era Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton did a great deal to challenge the cosmos. Their work was limited, however, to ou...

Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist.

By utilizing a relatively unknown natural law of science, we are able to reveal the hidden pattern and divine structure of the Holy Scripture, which, by definition, proves its authenticity. This book is a unique defense of the Bible, and thus by extension that of Christianity, by providing a proof of the veracity of the Word of God in a scientific manner outside the Bible itself, which previously has not been accomplished. The author will demonstrate that the same true natural law of scien...
